Are these  the right questions?
How much budget will I allocate? A good developer won’t try to spend all of your budget but will help you to get the best value for money Our current clients are our best customers…
Who is my app going to be for and what will they do with it? A good idea is a great start  A good idea that the market wants is more likely to get downloaded Strategy first, concept second
App or .mobi? And what about ‘web apps’? Mid term: You’ll need apps and a mobile website HTML 5 is great but limited Apps are far more robust
Which platform? Symbian sells more than iOS More apps get downloaded from the App Store Blackberry has 14% marketshare but is third in terms of total app downloads Facebook has 650m users
The fourth question many people forget to consider: How can I get my app noticed?
There’s a lot to think about… Any questions?
